L'Aquila earthquake prediction judgment: an eye-opener

摘要

The L’Aquila earthquake prediction judgment is an eye-opener and should galvanize as a trend-setter for better R&D, communication and disaster (pre-, co- and post-) monitoring and management strategies. Self-noting failures are the beginning of knowledge. The opposite closes the mind and turns away from knowledge. A closed mind tandems to closure of understanding. Extensive knowledge imbibes simplicity and leads to the realization how little is known, and converse with the reverse. However, we claim as a perfect science in terms of knowledge this accounts only for the partial truth, because knowledge is relative and dynamic and relates to humans and truth relates to nature, a constant and absolute. Our research knowledge gamut is a search process of truth, a neverending and everlasting, under such a scenario.
